Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of curtain track technology, and more particularly to a curtain track assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, construction sites often use construction sheds, and the entrances to these sheds typically use roller shutters or tarpaulin doors. Roller shutters use integrated, custom-made tracks, which are complex in structure and prone to damage after repeated use, resulting in high maintenance costs. Therefore, most existing construction sheds use tarpaulin doors. Tarpaulin doors are simple in structure and convenient to use. Their tracks are often made of wire rope, with pulleys and hooks added to hang the tarpaulin. However, because tarpaulin door tracks use wire rope, their strength is relatively poor. After prolonged use, the wire rope track is prone to deflection and sagging under stress, leading to uneven and unreliable sliding and a high risk of pulley derailment. Utility Model Content

[0033] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0034] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a track assembly for a construction shed, comprising a base 1 and a movable component mounted on the base 1. The base 1 is fixedly installed at a designated location, specifically above the entrance of the construction shed. Both ends of the base 1 are bent downwards to form lower folded edges 11, creating an angle b of 80°-100° between the two lower folded edges 11. Optionally, in this embodiment, the included angle b is preferably 90°, and the base 1 is preferably an equilateral angle steel. The movable component includes a movable seat 2, a rolling element 3, and a connecting element 4. The movable seat 2 is located below the base 1, directly opposite the base 1. Both ends of the movable seat 2 are bent upwards to form upper folded edges 21, creating an angle α between the upper folded edges 21 and the vertical direction. The included angle α ranges from 40° to 60°, and in this embodiment, it is preferably 45°. Two rolling elements 3 are provided in pairs, each rotatably connected to one of the two upper folded edges 21, and each rolling element 3 can also rotatably connect to one of the two lower folded edges 11, so that the movable seat 2 can move along the length of the base 1. The connecting element 4 is connected to the movable seat 2 and is used to hook the curtain fabric.

[0036] The overall structure of the shed track assembly is simple. The base 1 can provide stable and reliable support, solving the problem of deflection and sagging caused by the force of traditional wire rope rails. The base 1 and the movable seat 2 in this embodiment have simple structures. Compared with the existing complex track structures, their production and manufacturing costs are low and materials are readily available. The cooperation between the rolling element 3 and the base 1 and the movable seat 2 makes the shed track assembly less prone to derailment. The sliding process of the rolling element 3 is more stable and reliable.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rolling element 3 in this embodiment includes a fastening bolt 31, a bearing 32, a sleeve 33, and a first fastening nut 34. The fastening bolt 31, bearing 32, sleeve 33, and first fastening nut 34 are all readily available components from the construction site. They can be assembled into the rolling element 3 of this embodiment. Furthermore, after construction is completed and the shed is dismantled, the fastening bolt 31, bearing 32, sleeve 33, and first fastening nut 34 can be disassembled and reused in other areas, offering high flexibility. Specifically, the fastening bolt 31 passes through the upper folded edge 21, and the bearing 32 is sleeved on the fastening bolt 31, allowing it to rotate relative to the fastening bolt 31. The bearing 32 is also roll-connected to the lower folded edge 11. Optionally, the bearing 32 in this embodiment is preferably a deep groove ball bearing. It has strong composite load-bearing capacity, capable of withstanding both radial loads and a certain degree of bidirectional axial loads, making it suitable for combined load scenarios. The sleeve 33 is fitted onto the fastening bolt 31 and sandwiched between the upper flange 21 and the bearing 32. The sleeve 33 acts as a limiting element to prevent the bearing 32 from moving axially. The first fastening nut 34 is threadedly connected to one end of the fastening bolt 31 that extends out of the upper flange 21 to fix the fastening bolt 31 onto the upper flange 21.

[0038] Optionally, the rolling element 3 also includes a washer fitted on the fastening bolt 31, the washer being sandwiched between the sleeve 33 and the bearing 32 to reduce wear between the sleeve 33 and the bearing 32.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the connector 4 is detachably connected to the movable seat 2, and the other end has a hook for hooking the curtain. The curtain is a type of shed fabric commonly used in construction sheds. The top of the shed fabric has multiple holes, and the hook end of the connector 4 passes through any of the holes on the shed fabric to achieve a hook connection with the shed fabric.

[0040] In this embodiment, the detachable connection between the connector 4 and the movable seat 2 includes, but is not limited to, threaded connection. Preferably, the shed track assembly in this embodiment also includes a second fastening nut 5. One end of the connector 4 is provided with an external thread. The end of the connector 4 with the external thread passes through the movable seat 2 and is connected to the second fastening nut 5 to realize the detachable connection between the connector 4 and the movable seat 2.

[0041] Optionally, the shed track assembly of this embodiment also includes a bracket welded and fixed to the base 1. The bracket can be a frame composed of a support rod structure. The bracket is fixedly installed directly above the entrance of the shed. The base 1 can be welded or bolted to the bracket so that the base 1 can be located directly above the entrance of the shed.

[0042] Optionally, this embodiment provides multiple movable components, all of which are slidably connected to the base 1. The number of movable components is related to the number of openings in the canopy. Preferably, each opening in the canopy can be connected to a corresponding connector 4, and at least two movable components are provided, hooked at both ends of the canopy along its length.

[0043] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0044] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this disclosure, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement it. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this disclosure.
